About Fitchburg Comprehensive Treatment Center
Located just an hour outside of Boston in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, Fitchburg Comprehensive Treatment Center provides outpatient treatment for individuals struggling with opioid use disorder. These services are offered to adults aged 18 and older. The primary treatment provided at this facility is medication assisted treatment (MAT).
I like that, in contrast to some locations, they provide more than one medication to take as a part of your treatment. You have the option of being administered methadone or Suboxone to help reduce your cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Methadone, in particular, reduces your symptoms without producing the euphoric effects that are common with opioid use.
As you take these medications, you’ll participate in both individual and group therapies. Your therapist will work with you to get to the root cause of your addiction. They’ll help you examine and resolve any trauma or negative emotions that have potentially caused your opioid use. You’ll also learn coping skills and other tools that can help you maintain your sobriety.
In group therapy, your peers will provide you with support as you go through recovery, and you’ll have the chance to share your experiences. The counselor leading the discussions will likely cover topics such as stress management, anger management, and other issues related to addiction.
One aspect I find helpful with this facility is they provide multiple options for payment. You can pay through commercial insurance, Veteran Affairs, Medicaid and Medicare. You also have the option of public funding if you qualify for it or self pay.
Fitchburg is close to a lot of nature areas you can spend time enjoying. The center is sandwiched between the Nashua River and South Fitchburg Playground. Two popular options you can enjoy include the Crocker Conservation Area and the Cowdrey Nature Center.
